Prejudice, which sees, what it pleases, cannot see what is plain. - [Prejudice] This span of life was lent for lofty duties, not for selfishness; not to be wiled away for aimless dreams, but to improve ourselves, and serve mankind. - [Life] Man should be ever better than he seems. - A Song of Faith [Goodness] There is no remedy for time misspent; No healing for the waste of idleness, Whose very languor is a punishment Heavier than active souls can feel or guess. - A Song of Faith--Devout Exercises and Sonnets [Idleness] Art thou a type of beauty, or of power, Of sweet enjoyment, or disastrous sin? For each thy name denoteth, Passion flower! O no! thy pure corolla's depth within We trace a holier symbol; yea, a sign 'Twixt God and man; a record of that hour When the expiatory act divine Cancelled that curse which was our mortal dower. It is the Cross! - A Song of Faith--Devout Exercises and Sonnets--The Passion Flower [Passion Flowers] O Love-star of the unbeloved March, When cold and shrill, Forth flows beneath a low, dim-lighted arch The wind that beats sharp crag and barren hill, And keeps unfilmed the lately torpid rill! - Ode to the Daffodil [Daffodils] How blue were Ariadne's eyes When, from the sea's horizon line, At eve, she raised them on the skies! My Psyche, bluer far are thine. - Psyche [Eyes] Memory, in widow's weeds, with naked feet stands on a tombstone. - Widowhood [Memory]
